Capabilities

Tools 10

check_delivery

Whether a product can reach a destination and the earliest date it can honestly arrive. Orders by 10am ET on a business day ship that day and transit is 1-5 business days by zone, so the soonest arrival is about three days out — never tomorrow.

Discovered
compare_gifts

Side-by-side detail for 2 to 5 products, for choosing between them.

Discovered
create_checkout_link

Create a Stripe Checkout link for a cart and a recipient. THIS DOES NOT CHARGE ANYTHING. It returns a URL that a person opens and pays on Stripe; nothing is charged until they do, and this server never sees card details. Confirm the items, the recipient address and the total with the customer BEFORE calling this.

Discovered
get_gift

Full detail for one product by id or slug, plus any other listing of the same physical item (the catalogue carries occasion-specific listings of the same basket) so it is offered once, not twice.

Discovered
get_order_status

Status and tracking for ONE order. Both the order number and the email the order was placed with are required, and both must match — a token alone cannot look up an order. Returns the same answer for "no such order" and "not your order", so order numbers cannot be probed. Never returns the street address, phone number or card message.

Discovered
get_shop_policies

Kosher certification wording, dispatch and transit times, shipping cost, sales tax, policy links, and what this server can and cannot do about payment. Read this before telling a customer anything about certification or delivery.

Discovered
list_occasions

The occasion keys search_gifts accepts, with how many gifts each has. Derived from the products themselves, so it never offers a filter that would return nothing.

Discovered
quote_order

Server-side totals for a cart: merchandise, shipping, sales tax and the grand total. Prices come from the database, never from the caller. Indicative only — checkout recomputes every figure at payment and that is what is charged. Discount codes are not evaluated here.

Discovered
recommend_gifts

A short ranked shortlist for an occasion and budget. Each entry carries the reason, built only from facts on the product. The shop holds no ratings or reviews, so none are returned.

Discovered
search_gifts

Search the kosher gift catalogue. Budget, stock and shipping filters are applied as hard constraints before ranking, so nothing above max_price is ever returned. Returns an empty result with an explanation rather than a nearest-miss when nothing matches.
